I'm afraid I'll have to limit signature size for all forum members. Many sigs are too image-intensive and too long. It's no good when sigs start taking more thread space then actual posts.

Since now, maximum allowed length of signature is 14 standard text lines, including images. Max allowed size of all images is 250 px high and 700 px wide.

For reference:

Signature line 1
Signature line 2
Signature line 3
Signature line 4
Signature line 5
Signature line 6
Signature line 7
Signature line 8
Signature line 9
Signature line 10
Signature line 11
Signature line 12
Signature line 13
Signature line 14

That's quite a lot, so I still recommend to make it smaller, much smaller... but if you'll exceed this limit, we'll ask you to resize the sig or will do it ourselves.

Its been pointed out to us, once again, by the forum owners and administrators, that signature sizes are getting way over recommended sizes once more.
Having signatures bigger than the post content is somewhat annoying at the best of times for all members.
So please check your size, and trim down where necessary. If your signatures start disappearing after a week
or so of this post appearing, then will you know exactly why.
Please note the total recommended size for your banners, 250 by 700, and may I suggest the current trend
for quoting just about anything by other members is trimmed just a little, along with everything else.
In this case, size is important, as use of space can be expensive, and we DO NOT want to have to resort to
advertising to keep these forums going if we run over our allotted usage.
Thanks for your time and understanding in this matter everyone.

Now it would appear, very few of you are taking any notice of this whatsoever, so if your signature disappears
without warning, you will know exactly why. Unfortunately we do not have the luxury of time to PM everybody
who is over the recommended limit, and it is entirely your responsibility to be aware of these parameters.
Please follow the those recommended limitations in future.

It is everyone's responsibility to make sure their sig size does not exceed 700x250.

to reiterate what hoodlum said 3 posts above: if your signature disappears without warning, you will know exactly why. Unfortunately we do not have the luxury of time to PM everybody who is over the recommended limit, and it is entirely your responsibility to be aware of these parameters. Please follow the those recommended limitations in future.

Now, I get alot of guff from many people at many times when I nerf a signature for minor overages with the general argument that it's only minor & that I should cut slack, well if I cut slack for one, I would have to cut slack for all...& that isn't going to happen because 30px here, 19px there ect add up to a HUGE number on the whole of the forums. I have a habit of warning newer forum members of the limits & give them time to fix it, but I can, do, & will continue to remove oversize sigs from forum veterans on sight because veterans cannot claim ignorance as a defense. & any complaining about it is a waste of time.

Everyone stop what you're doing right now & measure your sig. if it's over the limit, fix it- because if you don't, you have no platform to complain from if I or one of the other admins or moderators get rid of it without warning.
